The Cleveland Browns announced injured defensive linemen Kwaku Danso was waived on Tuesday. The 6-foot-5, 336 pound defensive linemen was signed as an undrafted rookie free agent on May 17. Danso, who was born in Kumasi, Ghana, left last Saturday's game against the Rams with an injured finger.

"The players can be pulled off the list at any time. The designation simply indicates that all of these players have some form of injury that would stop them from participating in training camp when it begins on 7/31."

It doesn't sound like too big of a concern for the players.

Dont know much about Henderson, but Hamlin and Furrey would be great for our depth.

Unrestricted

WR Mike Furrey

TE Michael Gaines

OL Rex Hadnot

CB Hank Poteat

OL Ryan Tucker

OL Billy Yates

Hadnot "has not' due to injury the guy isnt even a dependable backup...and while i like jackson the guy is a concussion machine and under the new rules may be next to useless to us, trusnik is a good ST player and dependable decent backup but not a must have, i like furrey as a WR not so much as a DB but also i dont view him as an essential player..

Harrison, Vickers and Roth are near must keeps in my mind...

its always nice to have one that can spell the other incase of injury, and I also give up on the 53 man roster thing, too much involved there.
